rick was aware of it. we interviewed rick. we can't use that word. the bureau didn't like us to word. we talked to people aware of operations to gather more information about how paper was handled. you know, you can read what it says in the file. now days an e-mail. you really don't know the interaction of people. yeah? >> so two questions. i'm surprised that he could walk to the soviet embassy in washington, d.c., and didn't twhawnt embassy under surveillance. two, i'm wondering for there was a moment before he was arrested when he realized you knew who he was. or if not, what was it like to have to work -- once you realized it was him you hadn't -- he had minute arrested yet. how difficult was it to have to deal with him? >> it was more than difficult, you know, i think most the time we're pretty good actor and actresses. that was tough. and i will say personally -- confession. i smoked during those days. [laughter] and you couldn't spoke in the building. i would go out to the courtyard to have my cigarette. rick was a very heavy smoker. and becaus

rick doing this job. his contact with this individual was known to fbi headquarters, cia headquarters. it was -- he reported the contacts to each during this developmental phases, and that particular day, rick was scheduled to have a meeting with the man at the mayflower, and the man, who doesn't want anything to do with this -- rick was an alias -- this american -- that means if i have something to do with this american, i've got to report it to the kgb. that is not something that most soviet citizens wanted any part of. so, he kept ignoring rick, and that day, scheduled lunch, chuvakan does not show up, and rick throws down three or four vodkas. that's when the drinking -- a little courage, and decides he is going to walk right into that embassy, and if he is ever asked he will just say i got sick and tired of being stood up by this punk. so i walked in. and guess what? he showed up for the next scheduled meeting. so he had cover for action. as we say. >> you mentioned it was the find of the fbi report

elizabeth mcdonald, rick unger and john tammy. john, why would we want them to do anything with this if this is what we get? >> it's a reminder that bipartisan is the most overrated concept in politics. any time the two parties get together, we've always got to watch our wallets. in this case, it's a normally expensive bill and violates the most basic concept in economics which is comparative advantage. >> rick, cooperation usually means more spending. more spending means more pork and that's not good for the economy. >> well, let's tear that apart a little bit. nobody is going to disagree when we say pork. intellectually, it's a terrible, terrible thing to do and should not drive legislation. what fascinates me, however, well beyond our recent years it's always been pork and it's always been earmarks that are used to get an agreement. the questionyou need to ask is y. why do these politicians require this before they vote the way they should and if they are going to do anyhow, maybe we should bring earmarks back because at least

why did rick white target churches?rs believe white was angry at the first assembly of god church for turning down his membership application, but he couldn't bomb that church, at least not right away. it would have been too obvious. so, he chose the oakwood united methodist church as his first target, possibly because his ex-wife was a member. >> he was experimenting. he was trying to get different things to work, different initiators for the device, different triggering systems. >> the forensic evidence shows that white placed the pipe bomb in a green cooler, not caring who would pick it up. church member brian plawer was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. in the first assembly of god church bombing, white used a stronger bomb, since this was his primary target. he placed the bomb on top of an outdoor air conditioner. this one had a timer designed to explode during the sunday service. 33 people were injured. in october of 1998, a grand jury concluded richard white built both bombs and murdered brian plawer.

hard to fight them. >> rick, throw numbers out there again.tates is $51,000 a year. for a family. in d.c., look at this $65,000. what a jump. >> yeah. i'm still contemplating steve's stement that they have the bomb. hard to fight them. i'm going to be careful what i say. there is another -- >> we have your address. >> there's another reason we should contemplate here. not just the question of people in government getting paid well or people who work with the government. the percentage of people with college degrees is highest in washington, as compared to any other city in the country. maybjust maybe the morals of the story is, if you get a college degree, you make more money, your city makes more money. >> john, the irony of ironies is that you, the consummate libertarian, live in washington. how does it feel? >> he's rich! >> i always thank everyone for building me this beautiful city, but that's the point. federal stimulus has a washington, d.c. address. i wish every voter would visit here so they could see how well we're living off of the

rick, let me start with you. obesity accounts for as much as $146 billion in health care costs in this country. from my perspective that makes it not just a personal issue. this is an issue that affects all of us. certainly as taxpayers. don't you think there's some government responsibility to do something about this crisis? >> first of all, there's always been thin people and there's always been fat people. now you're suggesting because we have obama care and the government is saying it is now our responsibility to keep everybody healthy they can bootstrap themselves into telling people what to do to stay healthy. >> this isn't a new thing. the first george w. bush, we all had to exercise with arnold s z schwarzenegger. >> exercise is fine. but when you start to do the things i'm now hearing from michelle obama. when you start to hear people saying we're going to control what you eat as opposed to encouraging people to exercise, you're going a bridge too far. we're either going to control the availability of fo

what about rick's point. you say if you're working for the irs after you've dub wore work and work in the private seng tore. that's where you get your bonus. >> certainly that's true but i don't think these were bonuses in the sense that jamie dimon would get at the bank. we're talking it was 1% of people's salaries. i mean i do agree with rick that you obviously have people that go into the private sector and make more money, but we started to frown a little bit on that because then people say that they're banning certain members of congress and certain government workers from going into the private sectors. >> hang on a second. the irs budget is up 52% since 2001. the total number of tax returns filed, corporate, individual, and others is only up 6%. they're getting a lot of money. basically,yes, they've got congress neurotically fiddling with the tax code every year but it sends the wrong message. >> rick, incentives matter. when you give someone a reward for their bash, even if it's bad, doesn't that enco

republican governor rick scott in florida is not protecting the integrity of the vote and i think ricky way he can assure his re-election is by suppressing the vote. at least that's the way it appears to this broadcaster. join meganow is former florida governor charlie crist, who is currently running again for governor in the state of florida. governor, good to have you with us tonight. you met with students yesterday at the university of florida. what was your response on the ground there when they were told this wasn't going to be happening in 2014 on their turf? >> they couldn't believe it. they couldn't believe that the governor, that rick scott and his administration would have the audacity to say that we're not going to allow you to vote on campus at the university of florida. obviously a lot of young people, probably people who are more inclined to vote democratic instead of republican, but that's exactly what has happened. they're trying to suppress the vote. they're using every means possible to do that. and when you think about it, ed, if you're on the team where if you have

rick to you, you see fundamental weakness, rick, in the housing market. looking at your notes from my producer, shadow inventories still big. hangover from you know, the housing depression. what else is going on out there that could cap what everybody expects to be a very big year for the housing industry? >> lance is absolutely right when he talks about the last six months. one of the most disturbing trends i've seen in the last six months we've seen a decline in the number of household formation. so we're seeing fewer and fewer people actually form households. partly because of immigration is lower than we thought. partially because population trends are going down. partly because the 25 to 35-year-old age group isn't forming new households. they're staying home with mom and dad because of a weak economy and jobs that don't exist for them. so household formation is the key to return to stronger housing market. and we're just not seeing that right now. gerri: lance, does government still need to support housing? is that the key to solving this issue, thi

rick scott is right behind it. >> absolutely he is.rnor, even as a republican in '08 we had long lines for the early voting in florida. it was obama versus mccain. and dan gelber, who was the democratic house leader in florida called me up and said governor, you got to do something about this. it's wrong. and for me, frankly, it's never been about right versus left. it's been about right versus wrong. it was a compelling argument to me. he said sign an executive order expanding the rights so our fellow floridians can vote. so i did it. >> look at the lines. >> it's terrible. four years later, rick scott faces the same situation. dan gelber and i called him. you have to sign an executive order, let our people vote. he constituent wouldn't do it. >> what does he say? we have pennsylvania guys up there. i openly say it's partisan. i'm not saying they don't like black people. i'm say thanksgiving don't like black people voting democrat. so what they do is try to make it harder. >> you're right. you're absolutely right. i mean, i've been in

and i still haven't heard from rick about the minimum wage. how about it? >> i don't think it's government's business to be setting the minimum wage out there. the cbo said if you want to get rid of 500,000 jobs between now and 2016 raise the minimum wage. here's the issue, pat, you got to believe this, at a time when jobs are at a premium in this country, the last thing you want to be doing is putting policies into place that will kill jobs and not only -- >> we are purchasing power in the hand of consumers. they'll spend the money. >> and to tell people that has a job today, i'm sorry, but to help these folks over here, you're not going to have a job. that's the wrong message. >> every dollar you raise in the minimum wage creates $2,800 in purchasing power. 70% of our economy are consumers buying things. let's put more money in the pocket. >> we know that forcing small businessmen and women to raise the minimum wanl, they'll have to make the decision between whether they're going to hire people or raise the wage. >> all these studies show that -- >> no, n

it wasn't rick scott. it was the president. frankly, he's fighting the president tooth and nail on everything. you know, affordable health care. the recovery act he was against. >> well, he's trying to expand medicaid. he's open for that. it's the ren legislature -- >> may i -- it's a good point. >> he wants to do it. the republican legislature -- and let's say you're governor, and you want to start an exchange, and you want to expand medicaid, and we know that t the -- some of the largest uninsured are in basically two states -- florida and texas -- two states not participating in the health care law, you have a republican legislature that's not going to be rubber stamping you. >> that's right. >> what will you do about this? >> here are the facts, first. he said he was for it, medicaid expansion, for about 30 seconds. i'm exaggerating a little bit, but not much. didn't lift a finger to get it passed, even the speaker -- the republican speaker of the florida house, will weatherford, said that guy didn't call me once to bring u

joining us now, dan greenhaus and rick receieter. thanks for coming out. >>> let's talk about what happened this week. dan, it sure seemed to me like when yellen spoke, the markets relaxed. do you think she is responsible for what happened? >> i'm in the minority in this camp. i think yellen didn't hurt things for sure. our view is that what happened this week was an extension of what happened the previous week, which was that concerns over emerging markets, which always seemed overblown, seemed to subside further. if you look at the action on thursday and friday, it was quite robust to the up side. it was again just a continuation of what we saw the prior week. >> she could have spooked the markets if they said something more hawkish. >> she reiterated that tapering is on a pre-set course. she didn't deviate from what we already know. if you wanted to get argumentative, you could make the case that was somewhat hawkish. she didn't seem more dovish than the prepared text. >> i'll give you that point. rick, do you think the fed is doi

people of florida clearly didn't trust rick scott running their state. he did the wrong thing by not expanding medicaid. let's get back to trust for a moment and let's connect it to immigration. first of all, the republicans don't want anything to do with immigration reform because it's just simply not their people. they don't have the demographics on their side, and they don't know what to do. so the best thing to do is just to block it. they have gerrymandered the house to the point they can hold the house for who knows how long at this point. hopefully someday in their world they can buy the senate and they'll ride it out to see if they can get somebody in the white house again. they have put the house to a position where it's going to be very hard for the democrats to win it. i'm not saying it can't be done. but if immigration reform were to start, it would make them gerrymander all over again. that's why i think priorities usa action, the story we ran on friday, they're making a huge mistake by just talking 2016 and not going after the house. now's

and i would rick like to see that other countries have a version of the dream that is culturally and historically unique but involves a hope one's children would have freedom and opportunity. i did a radio show and people were calling in and i love this idea of the american dream is everyone can connect. there was a recent immigrant, a small business owner, and they had different spins. and the dream for me the small business owner said take away the regulations i cannot run by business skwchand the immigrant it is those regulations and that government i came. i want to safety of a government i can trust. so i love how everyone connects to it in a way that is there own history but connects to the larger history >> have we lost our faith in the american dream? >> it is down now. the numbers are trending down a little. but the young people is where our hope is, i think. they are very hopefully and their version is different. they are global and i think they are connecting the dream in a global stage more than others. all of the poles show the majority of americans, sometimes showing 56
